Description
This new CD from Leonardo presents world premiere recordings of 18th-century Venetian sonatas. These anonymous compositions are performed here on the fortepiano by Marius Bartoccini.
The core of an album containing solely anonymous works lies in the centrality of the performer and in his connection with the writing. Bartoccini's playing presents light and refined melodic lines, delicate phrasing and a series of dynamic contrasts which not only identify what one might refer to as a kind of "Venetian classicism", but also make the fortepiano the most suitable for this performance.
Marius Bartoccini carries out an intense concert activity as a fortepianist, harpsichordist and pianist: he plays both as a soloist and in various baroque ensembles, collaborating with renowned conductors such as Sigiswald Kuijken and Federico Maria Sardelli. He performs on original instruments such as the Longman & Broderip fortepiano of 1789, Schantz of 1795 (the oldest known), F. Samisch of 1830, John Watlin of 1810, Schantz of 1828, Luigi Rasori of 1832 Johann Haselmann of 1810; on prestigious copies as well as on the instruments in its possession.
